What is the cheapest wood for a staircase?

Pine and spruce are generally the least expensive woods for making stair treads. These softwoods offer good value for money while providing sufficient strength for daily use.

The factors that influence the price are:

  • The wood species chosen (softwoods are cheaper than hardwoods)
  • The wood quality (presence of knots, finish)
  • The dimensions and thickness of the treads
  • The finish applied (raw, oiled, varnished)

Other budget-friendly alternatives include hevea (rubberwood) and certain multi-ply panels, which help reduce costs while maintaining good durability.
